It’s Charles Manson’s 68th birthday today. Hard to believe this whacko is still kicking.

November 11 is Remembrance Day for Canadians. It’s today that we remember those who fought and died for our country.

Why should we remember?:

We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless.

I know neither of these were Canadian, but they do make you think about what people sacrificed so we can live as well as we do.

‘The plug got pulled on us’ According to him it was GM place’s fault. Looks like there’s a lot of finger pointing going on, but no one is taking responsibility.
